New attorney hired in special meeting
By Michael Pineda michael.pineda@ardmoreite.com
SPRINGER — To summarize a special meeting Tuesday night, the Springer Board of Trustees approved advertising for a town clerk/treasurer as well as office help. And it also dismissed its attorney, Bob Pinkerton, and approved the hiring of David Blankenship. But it was not a simple task to reach those conclusions. The meeting, which lasted a little over an
hour, was contentious in nature as the board chose not to dismiss its attorney in executive session, choosing instead to air its dirty laundry in public. Compounding the issues was the fact that Mayor Glenn Bond had Blankenship review the agenda rather than Pinkerton, despite the fact Pinkerton was the attorney of record entering the meeting. Pinkerton raised questions about the agenda item described as “discuss and possible action relating to employing a part-time office help and a town/clerk treasurer.” Pinkerton’s concerns were there was not an individual to
hire for the position. “The wording is not what I’m questioning; the intent expressed is to actually hire someone,” Pinkerton said. He also said he had not seen an application for the position, which had been posted at the town post office and City Hall. Vice Mayor Joyce South said there had been one applicant, but it was verbal. The motion was tabled after discussion about when the position had actually been advertised and in what meetings it had been discussed. The board did approve to See springer, Page 6A

hose old enough can remember the day when they first got cable television. And many of those people in Ardmore were among the first in the state to be able to put away the rabbit ears. In the 30 years since cable television first came to Ardmore, a great many changes have come to the industry. And with greater technological advances, the industry has had to change with the times. “Young people don’t necessarily watch cable television; their choices and lifestyles are so different,” says David Walls, Cable One

general manager. “They basically use Internet services.” Wall says the choices are evident in the significant reduction of subscriptions and revenue the cable side of the company is reporting. In addition to the choices people are making, the costs for retransmission rights have also gone up significantly. Programmers continue to drive up the rates for cable companies, which in turn, makes it more costly for cable providers to offer the same product to the public. Wall says when cable came into being, the companies paid to be placed on one of the lower channels. And when cable was first introduced in Ardmore, there were six channels from which to choose. But that was a long time ago, as some brands, such as ESPN and Fox, have risen to the forefront and now are in position to make increasing demands. “There is no negotiation,” Wall says. “What you are seeing is a national trend. Cable companies are picking who the big players are, and dropping the smaller ones.” Because the margin has shrunk for cable profits, companies have been forced to adapt and stay ahead of the curve or risk See CABLE, Page 3A

Wednesday Rumination with Oscar Miles
Teaching and Counseling Minister for the Ardmore Family of God
Social networking online is the new normal and, as with all technology, can be used for good or evil. It is wonderful to keep in touch with family and friends who are far away. You can ask for prayers from people around the world, and you can pray for people you could never have known about before the Internet. On the downside, we can become swallowed up by technology like never before. One way this happens is when you compare yourself to others. It is easy to look at FaceBook profiles and believe everyone else has a super life with few problems and wonder if something is wrong with you. Or, the opposite can happen: you get so caught up in the issues of others that their problems become your problems and their vices become your vices! This is happening to hundreds of people every day. The cure is to spend more time face to face with people, sharing your life in a way that online socializing will never do.

David Lloyd West David Lloyd West, 59, passed away on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013, at Ardmore. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013, in The Chapel at Griffin-Hillcrest, with Pastor Kevin Russell officiating. Cremation will follow under the direction of Hillcrest Crematory of Ardmore. David was born Oct. 23, 1953, to Lloyd West and Mary West at Billings, Mont. He attended Texas A&M, and graduated from there with a bachelor’s degree in business. He moved to Oklahoma, where he went to work for Best Buy. David worked in maintenance there until his passing. He enjoyed building model helicopters and model cars. David played people from
all over the world on his Xbox. He also loved listening to country and western music, and was an avid cat lover. David married Miss Barbara Ann Nalley on Sept. 19, 2003, at Gainesville, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents. David is survived by his wife, Barbara of the home; son Nathan McClure of Ardmore; three brothers and four sisters; sister-inlaw Lisa Goldstein of South Bend, Ind.; brother-in-law Bryon Nalley and wife, Carolyn of Ardmore; three step-nephews, four greatstep-nieces, two greatstep-nephews; and special friends Louise Garcia and family of Ardmore.

“The changes in technology happened so fast,” Wall says. “Everything migrated to Amazon, Hulu and Netflix.” Wall says Netflix uses up to 50 percent of Cable One’s bandwidth. Locally, Cable One has a hybrid system using both coaxial cable and fiber. “The only advantage of fiber is distance,” Wall says. “We know how many nodes are being used, and if it reaches 75 percent capacity, we add more nodes. We are constantly updating the services.” It also takes consistent maintenance and monitoring. Wall said he is able to determine each morning how many nodes are being used, and can see the activity taking place in different parts of the city. “We can see the peaks

going out of business. And that is where Internet has proven to be a boon to those companies. As demand for cable decreases, the shift has focused to Internet services. “It transformed how people are looking at television,” Wall says. “We had to change along with it. “There were two to three times more cable companies 20 years ago. They have either consolidated or gone out of business.” And other companies have been caught up in the changes.

and valleys,” he says. “Sometimes, we can make adjustments in the head end or we can go and add some more fiber.” It is a much different maintenance concept than with cable television, and those changes have also extended to packages for usage of cell phones as well. Whereas the main focus was on premium packages, there are now conversations such as no data caps for cell phone data plans. “If we were still relying on the same model, companies like Cable One wouldn’t even be in Ardmore today,” Wall says.

DIGEST ranch hag chronicles
I like milk, but it doesn’t like me
Odds and Ends
Doggone wedding
W
isdom comes with age. I’m sure someone over 30 said that, but I tend to agree with the sentiment. Our gal Nancy’s mom Nezzie Too says that each time you add a zero to your age, something new breaks down. I’m here to tell you that truer words have yet to be spoken. Why just last week, Old Iron Chaps had shoulder surgery, and he won’t even add that next zero to his age until February. Of course, he has always been an overachiever and a bit of a show-off. Still, as time marches on, we have both noticed that while most things are still in their original places they just don’t work like they used to. I did add that next zero not too long ago, and my new party favor seems to be an intolerance for dairy products. I don’t like that because I am an unrepentant cheese-aholic, and while I can skip the Dianne milk, cream, cottage cheese, yogurt Rankin and, yes, even cream cheese, I’m sure they will have to pry a slice of cheddar from my cold dead fingers when the time comes. Quite frankly, for years I have only consumed milk with the occasional bowl of cereal, so I really didn’t think that would be a problem. But human nature dictates that when we absolutely shouldn’t do something, that’s when we will absolutely have to do it. First, I tried to get by with milk that contained only two percent milk fat. When it was painfully apparent that wasn’t going to work, I tried skim milk. Close, but no cigar. So what to do? What to do? My two options were, never hear that familiar snap, crackle, and pop on those dreary mornings when I was feeling as if I had already added that next zero, or try a milk alternative, and boy do I do have something to say about that. It will be difficult but I will give it my best to keep it PG. There I was standing in the dairy aisle at the supermarket gazing into the case and wondering how, in a logically thinking society, can something called SOY MILK exist? The last time I looked at a soy bean, I didn’t notice any, shall we say, mammary glands, so how the heck can it be called soy MILK? Milk comes from mammals. Soy beans aren’t mammals, unless I missed that particular newsflash. It’s the same head scratcher as prune juice, but don’t even get me started on that again. Needless to say, that even though the stuff shouldn’t exist, I did purchase a carton. I was a bit apprehensive about taking it out on its maiden voyage, as it were, but I was rather pleasantly surprised. I will not say that it tastes like real milk, as real milk does not need added vanilla to enhance its flavor, but it did manage to make my morning cereal edible and without the pesky side effects that come with lactose intolerance. After that initial experience with the soy milk, I started checking out the other non-dairy products mainly out of curiosity. Surprisingly, I did find an alternative to real cheddar, but let’s face it folks, the old ranch hag has to draw the line somewhere.
Bridge
Do not be deaf to the auction By Phillip Alder
Walter Lippmann, who originated the terms “Cold War” and “stereotype,” said, “It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: The music is nothing if the audience is deaf.” At the bridge table, the auction is nothing if the players are deaf to it. This deal would be impossible for anyone who did not remember the bidding; it would be testing for someone who did. How should South plan the play in three no-trump? West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the three, his original fourthhighest. (If he had started with only three hearts, he would have led back his higher remaining card in the suit.) To be honest, although it was best here, I disapprove of West’s opening lead. With no side-suit entry, he should have led his spade. (The last time I did not lead partner’s suit, diamonds, they made three no-trump vulnerable instead of going down three.) South has eight top tricks: three spades, one heart and four clubs. He
does not have time to play on diamonds, so must get four spade tricks. With silent opponents, declarer would cash his ace and queen, but that does not rate to work here, needing West to have a singleton jack. South should hope that West has a singleton eight or nine. Declarer plays a club to dummy’s 10, then leads specifically the spade 10. If East plays low, South runs the 10. If East covers with his jack, declarer wins with his ace (or queen) and happily notes the fall of the eight on his left. He returns to the dummy with a club, plays a spade to his seven, and can claim.

Police apologize for dog wedding COLOMBO (AP) — Sri Lankan police apologized Tuesday for holding a group wedding for dogs trained to detect explosives and drugs after the country’s culture minister condemned the event and demanded an investigation. Nine pairs of police sniffer dogs dressed in shawls, hats and socks were placed on a decorated platform like those used in traditional Buddhist weddings in the ceremony Monday in the central town of Kandy. Their marriages were registered by an official in the presence of a crowd of veterinary surgeons, medical doctors, top police officers and the public. Local television showed the dog couples later being driven away in a decorated police jeep for their “honeymoons.” The ceremony received wide publicity, and strong criticism from cultural officials. Culture and Arts Minister T.B. Ekananayake said it undermined traditional wedding rituals and should be strongly condemned. He called for an investigation. Police spokesman Buddhika Siriwardena apologized for any damage
to the country’s cultural heritage, saying the goal was to breed sniffer dogs domestically. “This program is aimed at breeding dogs accustomed to local weather and food, thereby saving money,” Siriwardena said in a statement, adding that in 2011 the police department spent $500,000 importing such dogs from the Netherlands.
KENAI (AP) — J.D. Megchelsen holds the record for giant pumpkins in Alaska, and the Nikiski gardener knew he had a candidate this year to beat the record of 1,287 pounds set in 2011. But when a boom truck gently lifted the behemoth on Monday with rigging and a sling, the big pumpkin revealed a big disappointment: a thumb-size hole that will make it ineligible for the competition at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. “It’s not going to count,” Megchelsen told the Peninsula Clarion. “It’s a bummer, but it’s the rules.” Entries must be free of rot, chemical residue and serious soft spots. They can’t have holes or cracks that reach the pumpkin cavity. A scale on the crane indicated the
big pumpkin weighed 1,500 pounds but Megchelsen estimates the state competition scale would have registered closer to 1,420 pounds. “It’s just killing him,” said Pam Elkins, Megchelsen’s sister-in-law. “He eats, sleeps and dreams pumpkins. All he does is pumpkins.” Megchelsen began to pursue the record in 2002. He set the record in 2004 with a 700-pounder. A year later, he grew a 942-pound pumpkin and in 2006 he grew the first Alaska pumpkin to exceed 1,000 pounds. The current record followed in 2011. Two years ago, Megchelsen said, he had a disqualifying hole in another of his giants. It might have surpassed the record if it had kept growing, he said. His 2013 pumpkin probably grew too fast when it opened a hole in a “rib valley,” he said. During the height of a growth spurt in the warmest part of the summer, Megchelsen said, he was feeding the pumpkin up to 300 gallons of water a day. The hole likely opened the first week of August when the fruit hit its peak growth spurt of 41 pounds in 24 hours. That happened two days in a row, he said. Megchelsen plans to take his pumpkin to Palmer for weigh-in day. He’s not likely to leave it there on display, he said.

ipads Continued from Page 1A
The iPads are equipped with safeguards to control the content students access and an OtterBox to protect the device itself. “Part of what we are doing is giving students the tools to use electronics responsibly,” says Head of School Ken Willy. The school had to set up a wireless network and install new routers. “Anywhere a child goes in school, they have accessibility,” says librarian Suzanne Bigbie. Each device issued is specific to that student. Apps are installed based on each grade. The device will go with each student throughout their time at Oak Hall. Initial setup takes about two hours for each device, but once it’s done, each device will only need to be upgraded with the apps for a new grade level. Educational software that has been available on computer is gradually becoming available in app format. For example, Accelerated Reader tests can now be taken on the iPads instead of on the computer. “Teachers have been proactive in searching for the right material,” Willy says. Textbooks have not been created yet for elementary level, so books are still in use. However, the future looks like it is moving
towards e-books. “I’d much rather hold a book, but for these kids, it’s not an issue,” Smith says. In the long run, the devices will save the school money. A textbook app costs about $14 while an average textbook is $70-$80. Also, once an app is purchased, the school will receive the upgrade for free, as opposed to having to order a new set of textbooks for $70-$80 each. Students are especially excited about the new devices. “It’s cool because it’s different than other schools,” says eighth-grader Shivali Dahya. Eighth-graders are using an app called iTooch in their English class. “Since we got the iPads, we get certain projects that are different than before,” says eighth-grader Troy Velasquez. Middle school and fifth-grade students did some work on iPads last school year, including taking a test on the devices. “It was way better because it wasn’t as hard as having to think and write things down. The iPads are easier,” says sixthgrader Jentry Lemons. Students also appreciate not having to carry around a stack of textbooks and a dictionary in order to complete work. “It’s a lot easier because we don’t have to carry around textbooks, and looking up stuff is easier,” says sixth-grader Zachary Bramlett.

Single bullet killed Australian athlete OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The bullet that killed an Australian baseball player in a random attack this month collapsed both his lungs, fractured two ribs and tore through his aorta and pulmonary artery before lodging in his shoulder, the state medical examiner said Tuesday. The medical examiner’s autopsy report supports the theory of Duncan police that Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was shot with a small-caliber weapon from behind by someone passing him in a car and that the shooter intended to kill the athlete by aiming for his upper torso.
Lane died Aug. 16 in Duncan, and police say three teenagers targeted him at random to break up the monotony of an Oklahoma summer. Meanwhile in Lane’s hometown of Melbourne, hundreds of mourners packed a suburban church on Wednesday for his funeral. Lane’s mother, Donna Lane, and American girlfriend, Sarah Harper, placed significant items around his coffin, including his baptismal shawl and school uniforms. The funeral was to be followed by a private burial. The official cause of
death was listed as “penetrating gunshot wound to the back.” “The bullet has a small caliber, is made of gray metal, with no jacket and has a round nose and visible markings that appear slightly deformed on the side,” the autopsy said. Police have said Lane was killed with a .22-caliber handgun, and they found .22-caliber ammunition in a suspect’s vehicle. The report suggests the bullet entered Lane’s lower back on an upward trajectory, struck two ribs and passed through his esophagus, heart and lungs before stopping near his left shoulder.

Mounting tensions with Syria sink U.S. stocks NEW YORK (AP) — Fears of an escalating conflict in Syria rippled across financial markets on Tuesday, sinking stocks, lifting gold and pushing the price of oil to the highest in a year and a half. The increasing possibility of U.S. military strikes raised worries on Wall Street that energy trade in the region could be disrupted, raising fuel costs for consumers and business. “If Syria becomes drawn out and becomes a longterm issue, it’s going to show up in things like gas prices,” said Chris Costanzo, investment officer with Tanglewood Wealth Management. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 170.33 points, or 1.1 percent, to 14,776.13, the lowest in two months. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 26.30 points, or 1.6 percent, to 1,630.48 and the Nasdaq composite fell 79.05 points, or 2.2

VTB Capital. The sell-off in U.S. stocks was broad. All 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 index were in the red, and only 31 of the index’s 500 stocks rose. Utilities and other high dividend-paying stocks mostly escaped
4WPPKPI QWV QH UVGCO Earnings season is drawing to a close, leaving less than a dozen companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to report quarterly results. Financial analysts expect that 14 consecutive quarters of revenue growth will come to an end, according to S&P Capital IQ. Revenue for the S&P 500 is expected to decline 0.7 percent in the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. Over the last several years, corporate America has boosted profits by slashing
expenses, including payrolls. But cost-cutting has limits. When all results are in, second-quarter earnings are expected to have grown by 4.8 percent; a second straight quarter of lower earnings growth. The end of this year should be stronger. Analysts expect revenue to rise again and to finish 2013 with annual growth of 2.2 percent, over the year prior. That’s well below the 4.2 percent revenue growth recorded last year.

the selling. The impact wasn’t just in stocks. Gold prices advanced and government bond prices jumped because traders see those investments holding their value better in times of uncertainty. Gold rose $27, or 2 percent, to $1,420 an ounce while the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10year Treasury note fell to 2.71 percent from 2.79 percent. While Syria itself has little oil, traders feared an intervention in Syria could cause further instability in the Middle East and possibly disrupt the flow of oil from the region. Oil surged $3.09, or 2.9 percent, to close at $109.01 a barrel, the highest closing price since February 2012. “People worry about this becoming a worst-case scenario and turning into a regional conflict,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management. Energy prices dragged down the airline industry on concerns that higher oil prices could lead to higher fuel costs. United Continental Holdings, the world’s largest airline by revenue, dropped $2.15, or 7.2 percent, to $27.71 and Delta Air Lines lost $1.16, or 5.7 percent, to $19.11.
advertise the position, and South brought up the subject of making the office an appointed rather than elected position. She said the issue would need to go before a vote of the people, and it was something smaller communities were doing. The board also approved a motion to change the locks on City Hall, the community center and storm shelter. Approval was given because of community members having sets of keys despite not being authorized to have them. “Someone has a full set of keys,” South said. “They said they had two sets, one for her and one for her husband.” The agenda listed an item “relating to excepting the resignation of the town clerk/treasurer, PWA billing clerk on August 21 at 11:24 a.m., 2013.” PWA was struck, as it would call for a meeting of the Public Works Authority, and it was pointed out the word “excepting” would not allow the board to follow through on its intent. Bond pointed blame at Pinkerton, who said he had not been asked to approve the agenda, and he was merely faxed a copy. “You said you did not want me to question items on the agenda,” Pinkerton said. The attorney also added the item was moot, because the resignation was made effective Aug. 21. No action was taken, leading to the item calling for the dismissal of Pinkerton. Trustee Terri Gilio questioned why the item was not addressed in an executive session. Bond said he and South had a conversation about it, and he had been notified by other trustees in regard to the situation with the attorney. South offered an explanation for terminating Pinkerton. Before a prior meeting, she had placed an item on the agenda, which she described was legal according to statute. In its place, she said Pinkerton put three items. She said the items related to discussion regarding a city employee. Pinkerton said he did not place the items on the agenda, and had been contacted by the former city clerk/treasurer for an opinion. “It is my job to advise,” Pinkerton said. “It is my job to advise all officials.” South said she was so upset, she took the three items off as well as her own. The board voted to dismiss Pinkerton by a 3-1 vote, with Bond, South and Louise Tovar voting for, and Gilio voting against. The board moved on to the question of naming Blankenship as the town attorney, a position he had formerly held. In a letter to the board, Blankenship listed his financial demands and offered to fill the municipal judge position as an alternative. A copy of the letter was not available, and the meeting had to adjourn momentarily so South could go home and retrieve a copy. Blankenship’s hiring was approved by a 3-1 vote, with Gilio voting against after discussion about Blankenship’s financial demands. Blankenship will be paid $400 a month and $175 an hour for additional work. The town will have to make a budget amendment, as Pinkerton was paid $300 a month and $100 for special meetings, which he said he only charged once in two years. Bond said because Blankenship would charge for phone calls made, it would be a last resort only after he had contacted the Oklahoma Municipal League and looked it up in statutes. He said his office, the vice mayor and clerk/treasurer would be the only ones that could contact Blankenship. After Gilio inquired whether she could contact the attorney, Bond amended the statement to include every trustee. It was brought out and confirmed by each trustee that Pinkerton had never given the city an invoice for a phone call. “So in other words, two people couldn’t get along and so now, the city has to pay for it,” one of the citizens at the meeting said during the discussion.

lifestyles Is Coke’s secret recipe the same? It doesn’t seem so ATLANTA (AP) — CocaCola keeps the recipe for its 127-year-old soda inside an imposing steel vault that’s bathed in red security lights. Several cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy formula stays a secret. But in one of the many signs that the surveillance is as much about theater as reality, the images that pop up on video screens are of smiling tourists waving at themselves. “It’s a little bit for show,” concedes a guard at the World of CocaCola museum in downtown Atlanta, where the vault is revealed at the end of an exhibit in a puff of smoke. The ability to push a quaint narrative about a product’s origins and fuel a sense of nostalgia can help drive billions of dollars in sales. That’s invaluable at a time when food makers face greater competition from smaller players and cheaper supermarket store brands that appeal to cashstrapped Americans. It’s why companies such as Coca-Cola and Twinkies’ owner Hostess play up the notion that their recipes are sacred, unchanging documents that need to be closely guarded. As it turns out, some recipes have changed over time, while others may not have. Either way, they all stick to the same script that their formulas have remained the same. John Ruff, who formerly headed research & development at Kraft Foods, said companies often recalibrate ingredients for various reasons, including new regulations, fluctuations in commodity costs and other issues that impact mass food production. “It’s almost this mythological thing, the secret formula,” said the president of the Institute of Food Technologists, which studies the science of food. “I would be amazed if formulas (for big brands) haven’t changed.” This summer, the
Twinkies cream-filled cakes many Americans grew up snacking on made a comeback after being off shelves for about nine months following the bankruptcy of Hostess Brands. At the time, the new owners promised the spongy yellow cakes would taste just like people remember. A representative for Hostess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email that Twinkies today are “remarkably close to the original recipe,” noting that the first three ingredients are still enriched flour, water and sugar. Yet a box of Twinkies now lists more than 25 ingredients and has a shelflife of 45 days, almost three weeks longer than the 26 days from just a year ago. That suggests the ingredients have been tinkered with, to say the least, since they were created in 1930. “When Twinkies first came out they were largely made from fresh ingredients,” notes Steve Ettlinger, author of “Twinkie, Deconstructed,” which traced the roots of the cake’s many modern-day industrial ingredients. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the nation’s No. 1 and 2 soda makers, respectively, also are known for touting the roots of their recipes. In the book “Secret Formula,” which was published in 1994 and drew from interviews with former executives and access to Coca-Cola’s corporate archives, reporter Frederick Allen noted that multiple changes were made to the formula over the years. The museum gets about a million visitors a year, with a plaque at the end of one exhibit stating “Keeping the Secret Ensures That the Magic Lives On.”

Dear Abby
Fear of 911 publicity causes some not to make the call By Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine was a victim of domestic violence. When I asked her why she didn’t phone 911 for help, her response was, “They play those 911 calls on the radio all the time.” She didn’t want her prominent husband’s career damaged by adverse publicity. Today, a group of us discussed the issue over breakfast. Many of the women said that because of the popularity of 911 calls being broadcast on the Internet, radio and TV, they’d be hesitant to phone for help when needed, too. Abby, someone is going to suffer serious harm out of fear that their call for help will be publicized. Do you know what can be done about this new “drama entertainment”? I wouldn’t want my terrified call heard by the public either, so I’d take my chances without calling for help. I just hope I don’t wake up dead one day as a result. — PUBLICITYSHY IN FLORIDA DEAR PUBLICITYSHY: Nothing can be done about “drama entertainment” as long as the public has an appetite for it. The reason for the practice of “if it bleeds, it leads” in the media is that it draws viewers and listeners — which means advertising revenue. In the case of domestic violence, calling 911 is the lesser of two evils. Out-of-control abusers have been known to maim and kill the ones they “love.” Ask yourself if your friend’s husband’s career was worth risking her life for. It makes more sense to risk a 911 call being broadcast than to have cameras and TV reporters
camped on your lawn while the EMTs or the coroner carry your battered, bloody body out on a gurney.
nnn DEAR ABBY: I’m overweight and have a family history of heart disease and diabetes. An injury to my back severely limits my ability to exercise, so diet is an important part of my health plan. My problem is people CONSTANTLY try to get me to eat. I explain my situation, but they still urge me to have “just a taste.” If I go to a party and shy away from the buffet, the host feels I’m being rude. Recently, my supervisor at work became insulted because I refused some food she brought to a work meeting. These people wouldn’t be upset if an alcoholic refused a drink, so why
are they so hostile to me? (Another thing that upsets me is when somebody dies an early death, these same folks say, “He should have taken better care of himself.”) — UNDER ATTACK IN ARIZONA DEAR UNDER ATTACK: For many people, food has become something other than fuel for the body. It can symbolize love, caring, acceptance — and when it is refused it can seem like a personal rejection to the person offering it. (Yes, I know it’s crazy.) Your best defense is to remind your hosts, your supervisor, your co-workers and friends that you have a family history of health problems and are on a doctor-advised restricted diet to manage it. Remind these generous
souls that socializing is more about the company than the food, and you are grateful that they understand.
nnn DEAR ABBY: You give so much great advice, I’m wondering if there is a basic principle you abide by in order to help guide you when giving advice. — CURIOUS READER DEAR CURIOUS: I hadn’t really thought about it, but I suppose it’s something like this: Show up for work ready to put forth my best effort. Be honest enough to admit that not everyone agrees with me or that I’m sometimes wrong. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Don’t pull any punches, don’t preach and always try to be succinct.

Ten Commandments monument doesn’t violate Okla. values
T
he American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma is suing the state in an attempt to have a Ten Commandments monument removed from the Capitol grounds. The monument was paid for privately (by Rep. Mike Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, and his family) and has been in place since 2012. The ACLU argues that the monument violates the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion....” Ritze and supporters of the monument say the 2009 law authorizing the monument is based on a Texas statute that has previously been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Like the Texas statute, the Oklahoma law makes it clear that the monument is about the historical foundation for U.S. and state law, not about establishing a state religion. From the words of the Founding Fathers to the image of Moses the lawgiver in the U.S. Supreme Court chamber, there’s ample evidence to support the point that the Biblical values are an honored foundation of American legal values. A strong majority of Oklahomans believe in the Ten Commandments, genuinely try to live by them and aren’t offended by them being placed in an obscure corner of the state Capitol grounds. A 2010 scientific statewide poll sponsored by the Tulsa World found that the monument was supported by nearly 80 percent of likely voters at the time, although 63 percent thought it wouldn’t make much difference in how state government operates. It wasn’t on the poll, but we believe an equally strong majority of Oklahomans also believe in the First Amendment, and upon close reflection will recognize that the same state that endorses a particular set of religious beliefs today can ban them tomorrow. This creates a narrow but not inconsistent range for state operations — and the monument falls with in it. We’ll leave it to the courts to decide whether the monument is legal or not, but we have no problem with it as a piece of the state Capitol’s furnishings. We only wish that a set of largely universal principles that tell us not to murder, bear false witness or commit adultery didn’t need a court test. — Tulsa World

The march of history
ew half-century commemorations raise as many complex and uncomfortable questions as does the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington: With a black man in the White House, has Martin Luther King’s dream been realized? With American social mobility seeming to be stalled, is the American Dream a dream deferred? With nearly a million black men in prison, is the King dream a dream denied? Plus: Why did the events of August 1963 sear us all so indelibly? What was the power in that speech, and in that march? These questions haunt a nation that yearns to be post-racial. But in asking them — and they are top-of-mind for so many of us this season — we sometimes overlook the remarkable development behind it all, and behind this summer’s commemorations. The civil rights movement, lasting roughly from 1955 to 1968 but with antecedents reaching far earlier and with effects cascading far later, produced a profound transformation — and has itself experienced just as profound a transformation. It has been transformed in American memory from a much-reviled outsiders’ movement making what seemed to be extremist demands into a much-beloved popular uprising that almost seamlessly extended the logic of American values to a broader base of the nation. Many of its roots were in the effort to open the schoolhouse doors, and today its goals (and incomplete achievements) are so widely embraced that schools are closed in the middle of each January to celebrate its aspirations. It began as a terrifying assault on broad, commonplace practices,
led by the bold and the brave, steeped in civil disobedience, prosecuted on buses and David at lunch Shribman counters and at the violent end of the fire hoses of the powerful. It evolved in memory into a proud, broadbased surge of honor whose principal genius is celebrated with a holiday and a Washington monument. Abraham Lincoln today has only the monument, no longer the holiday. In history’s long view, Lincoln and King — one white and one black, one a 19th-century martyr and the other a 20thcentury one — might be remembered as relay runners in the same long-distance race. Indeed, long before it was the backdrop for King’s speech, Lincoln’s memorial, its Doric columns symbolizing ancient and eternal values, was the backdrop of Marian Anderson’s contralto in a celebrated 1939 episode of defiance and determination to the strains of “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” In the pitch-perfect symmetry afforded by the decimal system, we mark the 50th anniversary of King’s dream in the same year as the 150th anniversary of those other hinges of history, the Emancipation Proclamation and Battle of Gettysburg, and of the only other speech in all of American history that changed the American character, the Gettysburg Address, whose anniversary is but a dozen weeks away. Lest anyone believe that every heart was turned by the summer march of 1963, we must recall that we mark another 50th anniversary this year, in three weeks: the bombing of the 16th Street
Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., that left four girls dead. Three of them would have been 64 in this anniversary year; one would have been 61: grandmothers, perhaps, maybe nearing retirement in a world they might not have recognized. And lest anyone think that an event marked for decades by presidents was embraced by the president at the time, remember how the prospect of this march unsettled John F. Kennedy, who watched nervously on a black-and-white television in the White House and met with the demonstration’s leaders afterward. In the next march that rocked Washington and the nation’s conscience, the May 1970 demonstration against the invasion of Cambodia and the student deaths at Kent State, Richard M. Nixon also met with the protesters. It was a furtive meeting, to be sure. It occurred at the Lincoln Memorial. The transformation that King began — the twin of the transformation prompted by Lincoln’s speech at a battlefield cemetery — is one of the most significant in human history, and it is, along with the victory over four tyrannies that required one hot war and another cold one, a signature American achievement of what once was called the American Century. But before the self-congratulation becomes too hearty, let’s remember that this is not a “mission accomplished” moment and that all this was prompted by one of the greatest injustices in all of human history, a stain on the American story that begs a different question, still without an answer: Why did it take so long? From our perspective here in the second term of the Barack Obama administration, the turning
point almost surely was the August agonistes of 1963. For it is almost certain that the spark that bridged the gap between the unimaginable and the inevitable was that March on Washington. “That march was the ultimate mobilization of what had been going on in all of the cities of the South, the ultimate gathering that expressed what was on the mind of black America,” Vernon Jordan, the former president of the National Urban League, said in a telephone conversation this summer. “What happened 50 years ago is that it all came together and the world could see it and appreciate its meaning.” It is difficult to remember today, when that march is a monument in memory — cast in stone, you might say, like the Lincoln and King memorials — that the genius of it all wasn’t only in the careful planning of A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin. It also grew out of the improvisation prompted by Mahalia Jackson, once so well known that it wasn’t necessary to identify her as the Queen of Gospel. King was deep into his oration when Jackson, who had sung at a rally to raise money for the Montgomery bus boycott of 1956, worried that he was losing his forward momentum. She urged him: Tell them about the dream, Martin. King had given his “dream” riff many times — it wasn’t a new element of his repertoire when he stood on the Lincoln Memorial steps. Then again, Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg, with its biblical allusions and rhythms, wasn’t a complete original either. The result wasn’t only history. It changed history.
to accomplish the job that is before you. Where there is progress, you will always find someone that will criticize. In the last six months, a new interim CEO took the helm, as well as five new trustees on the ADA. Shouldn’t they be given
a chance to show the people of Ardmore how they can perform for the city? They have acted in a transparent manner to address the concerns of the City and continue to work toward the resolution of several issues. I have seen Ardmore grow tremendously with
industry and retail establishments. During this time the ADA and Chamber have received numerous state and national awards for its professionalism and accomplishments. There are about 10 cities in Oklahoma that have dedicated revenue for economic
development. They are the communities that are taken seriously by business and industry as cities that are moving forward. It would be a mistake to take Ardmore off that list. Vote YES September 10 Bob Humphrey, Ardmore

Heartworms are common in dogs throughout the United States (cats can have them, too). They are among the most damaging parasites in dogs, though they have been 100 percent preventable for decades. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and, once mature, take residence in the heart and large vessels of the lungs. The adult female heartworm can measure from 9 to 16 inches in length. The males are a little more than half as long and are easily identified by your veterinarian. Chances are you have heard of heartworms but don’t necessarily understand what they are. Here are some common questions and answers provided by www.heartwormsociety.org. How is heartworm disease transmitted from one pet to another? Adult female heartworms living in an infected dog or other host release their young, called microfilaria, into the bloodstream. Mosquitoes become infected by the microfilaria while taking a blood meal from these infected animals. During the next 10 to 14 days, microfilaria mature to the infective larval stage within the mosquito. When the mosquito then bites another dog, cat or susceptible animal, the infective larvae exit the mosquito’s mouth parts and are deposited onto the surface of the animal’s skin. The infective larvae can then actively enter the new host through the fresh bite wound.

My dog tested positive for heartworms. What does this mean? A positive microfilaria or antigen test indicates that your dog has adult heartworms in the heart and arteries of the lungs. Even if your dog is not showing any symptoms, there may already be damage to the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. If not treated, this can lead to serious, even life-threatening disease. If treatment is started before symptoms are obvious, the chances are very good that your dog will not have any significant complications following treatment.

How do monthly heartworm preventatives work? Fortunately, there are many very effective once-a-month heartworm preventatives available today. Some are chewable tablets and others are topically-applied solutions. These compounds are capable of killing developing heartworm larvae, and administering the preventive every month will effectively eliminate the chance of infection. Check with your veterinarian to see which product is right for your pet.

In southern Oklahoma mosquitos are quite prevalent. If mosquitos are prevalent then your pet is at risk for heartworms. During 2013 Ardmore Animal Care, Inc. had over 130 dogs test positive for heartworms. Contact your local veterinarian to have your pet tested and started on monthly preventative.

Cowboys’ defense has new wrinkles STILLWATER (AP) — Don’t call Oklahoma State’s revamped defense “aggressive.” New defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer has added some new wrinkles, and many observers have been using that word to describe the changes. But Spencer, now preparing for Saturday’s opener against Mississippi State in Houston, doesn’t like labeling his particular brand of football. “I haven’t said (the word aggressive), that’s being said a lot,” said Spencer, who was promoted after four years as the Cowboys’ linebackers coach, replacing Bill Young. “All I know is, we just try to get them to play hard every snap. We try to get them to know situations and to execute what we want them to. We’re demanding on them, we try to get them to be accountable to each other, and until you do that on a Saturday

afternoon when the scoreboard’s on, all the talk doesn’t mean anything.” As far as coach Mike Gundy is concerned, the Oklahoma State
defense won’t be dramatically different from the unit that ranked sixth among the 10 Big 12 schools last season as the Cowboys went 8-5.

Walk-off winners Plainview upsets No. 3 Sulphur 8-7 The Ardmoreite Plainview continued its offensive barrage from Monday with an 8-7 walk-off win over Class 3A No. 3 Sulphur Tuesday. The Indians trailed 7-6 entering the bottom of the seventh, but rallied in their final at-bat. McKenzie Williams hit a bases-loaded RBI single to tie the game, and with two outs, Parker Stewart brought in Mykah Smith on an infield error for the winning run. The win makes it 21 runs in two games for Plainview (8-4), which defeated Madill 13-9 on Monday. “It just kept going back and forth,” Plainview coach Alicia Foster said. “Every time they’d score, we’d step back up and put some up on the board. Tonight, they went to work from start to finish. Williams led Plainview at the plate, going 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Hannah Beth Matherly had three hits, Tayte Sampson drove in two runs and Mykah Smith and Kaylee Roskam each had two hits. Plainview outhit Sulphur 18-9. “We’ve really been doing a lot of things differently in the cage and I really think that’s starting to pay off,” Foster said. “They’re putting the ball in play really well right now.” Sulphur scored twice in the top of the seventh on an error and an Allie Saunders RBI single to take a 7-6 lead. Saunders had three hits and Harlee Griffis was 2-for-3 with three runs scored for the Bulldogs (13-2).
Martin, Healdton shut out Ringling The Ardmoreite HEALDTON — Jenna Martin threw a five-inning shutout and Class A No. 3 Healdton came through with big third and sixth innings in an 8-0 win over rival Ringling on Tuesday. Martin, a senior, struck out seven batters, walked none and gave up just two hits for the Bulldogs, who improved to 9-3. “Jenna threw really well today and we had timely hits, which helps,” Healdton coach Joel Bradberry said. “Any time you can do that, you’ve got to be pleased with it.” Healdton scored three runs in the third and four in the decisive sixth to run-rule the Blue Devils. Abbie Etter and Lexi Gage each drove in two runs for Healdton. Mikaela Blakemore and Gage were each 2-for-3 with a double for the Bulldogs.

After starting the season 1-4 with two tough tournaments, the Indians have won seven straight. “Every year we always go out to the Hall of Fame Showcase and the Chisholm Trail,” Foster said. “Dale was No. 1, Bethel was No. 5, Cache was No. 7. Our girls are playing really good teams and that’s what makes them better in the long run.”

“Glenn has been here for a number of years, so he was very familiar with our personnel,” Gundy said. “We really haven’t adjusted very much on defense, it’s more of an attitude and a little bit of an approach.” Defensive tackle Calvin Barnett, a senior who was All-Big 12 last season, feels that there is a greater sense of camaraderie in the group. “He’s really helped us come together as a defense,” Barnett said of Spencer. “A lot of us hang out even more. There’s always going to be groups within the team, but the groups have gotten bigger. We do a lot more together and that’s really helped our defense a lot. He wants to be more aggressive, but at the same time, he’s not letting us forget that we still are a family.” There’s that word again. Senior
Ratliff injury makes DL even thinner

IRVING (AP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff ’s long absence just got a little longer. Ratliff will miss at least the first six games of the season after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list with hamstring and groin injuries. The Cowboys made the move Tuesday as part of getting their active roster down to 75 players. Ratliff, who turns 32 Thursday, missed offseason workouts
and training camp after sports hernia surgery late last season. He missed 10 games in 2012 with ankle and groin problems. He last played Nov. 18 against Cleveland. Dallas cut nine players and placed defensive end Tyrone Crawford and lineman Ryan Cook on season-ending injured reserve. The released players were receivers Anthony Amos, Jared Green and Eric Rogers, quarterback Nick Stephens, tight end Colin Cochart, guard Dennis Godfrey, linebacker Deon Lacey, cornerback Brandon Unsee cowboys, page 11A

NASCAR: Haas put deal together with Kurt Busch on his own KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — Gene Haas wanted to build a dream team, with an opportunity to see his name in Victory Lane. He wasn’t going to let Tony Stewart stand in his way of making that happen. Haas admitted Tuesday he went rogue in courting Kurt Busch for a non-existent fourth team at Stewart-Haas Racing while Stewart was incapacitated with a broken leg earlier this month. When he finally brought his business partner up to speed on his expansion plans, Stewart balked. But Haas forged ahead anyway with a multi-year offer to Busch, who was introduced Tuesday as the newest driver at SHR, where officials are now scrambling to make room at an organization that will double from two cars in 2012 to four next season. “I don’t think Tony was exactly enthralled with what I did,” Haas said. “But I think he saw it my way, you know? Either that or get out of the building.” Haas was laughing during two different recollections Tuesday of how he sidestepped Stewart during the lightning-fast courtship of Busch, which apparently began at a General Motors dinner in Indianapolis before the Brickyard in late July and ended last weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway with Busch accepting Haas’ offer. But the message Haas delivered was very clear: Stewart, the threetime NASCAR champion, is the front man of the race team but Haas is still very much a player in the organization he founded in 2002. He brought Stewart aboard in 2009 in a co-owner role to bring legitimacy to the team and help get the cars to Victory Lane, and Stewart

Former Lions receiver Young skips Calif. court NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — A California judge issued an arrest warrant Tuesday for Titus Young after the former Detroit Lions wide receiver missed a fourth court hearing on charges of burglary and attempted burglary. However, Young’s attorney Altus Hudson said he doesn’t expect his client to be arrested, saying the court knows his location. He declined to elaborate outside court. Orange County Superior Court Judge Andre Manssourian issued the $100,000 bench warrant after meeting with Hudson and the district attorney’s office in chambers. The judge also revoked Young’s bail and accepted a document from the defense under seal. The 24-year-old former player previously pleaded not guilty to four felonies and seven misdemeanors after authorities say he broke into a San Clemente home on May 10. That arrest came after erratic behavior that began five days earlier in neighboring Riverside County. He was arrested there for suspicion of driving under the influence and arrested again 15 hours later after authorities said he was caught trying to retrieve his car from a tow yard in Moreno Valley, east of Los Angeles. He was charged with misdemeanor trespassing in that matter and the case is pending, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Riverside County district attorney’s office. Young’s father has said his son changed after sustaining a concussion early in his rookie year with the Lions in 2011. Young, a second-round draft pick in 2011, was released by the team in February.
Panthers’ RB Stewart to miss 6 weeks CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart will miss at least the first six weeks of the season while he recovers from an ankle injury. Coach Ron Rivera said after practice Tuesday that Stewart was placed on the physically unable to perform list. NFL rules stipulate Stewart can’t practice or play for six weeks. Since the Panthers have a bye in week four, Stewart is eligible to play Oct. 20 against the St. Louis Rams, which would be Week 7 on the NFL calendar but would be Carolina’s sixth game of the season.
Packers RB Harris out for year with knee injury GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers starting running back DuJuan Harris is out for the year after injuring his right knee last week against the Seahawks. Harris said Tuesday he hurt the patella tendon and hoped to have surgery soon as he heads to injured reserve status. He hurt the same knee during the offseason. The knee appeared to bother Harris after he was flipped over near the sideline by a defender during the 17-10 preseason loss Friday night to Seattle. Harris said the knee was troubling him before that play. — The Associated Press

has delivered. Now Haas wants to be bigger and better, and wants to see his CNC machine company, Haas Automation, enjoy the spoils. He’ll fund Busch’s car out of pocket and sponsor the 2004 NASCAR champion himself. Busch, who spent Sunday with Stewart watching the IndyCar race at Sonoma on television, said Stewart got a kick out of the financials. “Tony was slapping me a high-five, he says, ‘We’re tapping into Gene’s wallet the way I wanted to,’” Busch said. Haas insisted getting his name on a car was his primary motivation. “It was an opportunity for Haas Automation to be a primary sponsor. This is going to be my shot at being a primary sponsor, going to the Daytona 500, the Brickyard as the primary sponsor,” he said. “Haas Automation has never been in the winner’s circle, and I’m sure that’s going to change next year. So that’s my primary reason for basically pushing this expansion. It’s been met with a little bit of
resistance.”
Oklahoma State cross country team is preseason No. 1 STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University’s men’s cross country team has been named No.1 in the nation in a preseason poll by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The Cowboys are the defending champions and winners of three of the past four NCAA titles. OSU earned 10 of the 12 first-place votes in the national poll. The Cowboys return four scorers from a year ago — three of whom are now seniors who finished in the top 25 as individuals. Tom Farrell finished ninth overall in 2012, while teammates Shadrack Kipchirchir and Joseph Manilafasha finished 18th and 24th, respectively. Shane Moskowitz, who finished 53rd last year, also returns. OSU coach Dave Smith says it’s nice to be recognized, but OSU has to back up its preseason ranking. — The Associated Press
derwood and kicker Brett Maher. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said he was confident Ratliff would play this season. “I believe in Jay,” Jones said before the move with Ratliff was announced. “There’s some things that can be frustrating when you have injuries. I’m convinced that we’ve got a program now — he’s had a few setbacks — that hopefully will put him on the road where he can play for us at some point this season.” Ratliff has only two sacks since signing a sevenyear, $49 million contract with $18 million guaranteed two years ago. He will have missed 16 of 22 games by the time he’s eligible to return Oct. 20 at Philadelphia. “The groin injury has been the one he’s been dealing with mostly through all of last year and through the offseason, so I think the biggest issue with him is regaining his strength,” coach Jason Garrett said. “Strength enough to go out on the field and do the things he needs to do to anchor and change direction and all the things that are required to play his position.” With Ratliff sidelined, the Cowboys could be forced to play the opener Sept. 8 against the New York Giants without both starters on the left side in their new four-man defensive front. Left end Anthony Spencer is recovering from knee surgery. George Selvie, a four-year veteran who didn’t join Dallas until after training camp started, has taken Spencer’s place. Nick Hayden, a sixth-year pro who was out of football last season, started in Ratliff ’s spot in last weekend’s preseason game against Cincinnati.

Roger Federer starts well at US Open NEW YORK (AP) — At this point in his career, Roger Federer recognizes the importance of a little extra work. That’s why the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, and the man who spent more weeks ranked No. 1 than any other, was out there on a U.S. Open practice court late Tuesday afternoon, putting in some training time shortly after finishing off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over 62nd-ranked Grega Zemlja of Slovenia in the first round. At 32 and holding his lowest ranking, No. 7, in more than a decade, and coming off a stunningly early exit at the previous major tournament — one of a series of newsworthy losses lately — Federer is OK with making some concessions. He insists his passion for tennis is still there. “I’m in a good spot right now,� Federer said. “I want to enjoy it as long as it
lasts.� He made it sound, though, as if it isn’t as easy to enjoy things the way his results have been going. Federer entered Tuesday 32-11, a .744 winning percentage that doesn’t sound too bad, until you consider his career mark at the start of this season was .816, and he’s had years where he went 81-4 (.953). and 92-5 (.948). He’s only won one tournament in 2013, which would be great for some guys, but Federer topped 10 titles three times, and hasn’t won fewer than three in any season since 2001. “Clearly, when you win everything, it’s fun. That doesn’t necessarily mean you love the game more. You just like winning, being on the front page, lifting trophies, doing comfortable press conferences. It’s nice. But that doesn’t mean you really, actually love it, love it,� said
Federer, whose streak of 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals ended with a second-round defeat at Wimbledon against an opponent ranked 116th. “That maybe shines through maybe more in times when you don’t play that well. For me, I knew it — winning or losing, practice court or match court — that I love it.� As fan favorite Federer took the first step toward a possible quarterfinal meeting with nemesis Rafael Nadal, an unknown teen from the United States made a Grand Slam breakthrough Tuesday. Victoria Duval, a 17-year-old qualifier who is ranked 296th, pulled off quite an upset, eliminating 2011 U.S. Open winner Sam Stosur 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. “A big moment, big stage. Not easy Roger Federer returns a shot to Grega closing any match out, let alone a past Zemlja during the first round of the U.S. U.S. Open champion,� Duval said. “So Open Tuesday in New York.

Pierzynski HR helps Blackley SEATTLE — When August started, Travis Blackley was a reliever on the worst team in the majors. Now he’s starting for the AL West leaders. Blackley pitched six effective innings and A.J. Pierzynski hit a three-run homer, leading the Texas Rangers to an 8-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. It was Blackley’s first win since he was acquired in a trade with Houston on Aug. 14. “It’s a good feeling,� Blackley said. “I’m really excited about the rest of the way.� Alex Rios had two hits and two RBIs as the Rangers picked up their fifth win in seven games. Elvis Andrus celebrated his 25th birthday with three hits and an RBI. It was more than enough run support for Blackley (2-1), who allowed three runs and five hits in his second start of the season.

first place, the Pittsburgh Pirates made a trade they feel will bolster their offense. And it was welcome news to manager Clint Hurdle and his players. The Pirates acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, hoping the veterans can help the franchise to its first playoff berth in 21 years. The Pirates sent the Mets minor league infielder Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later in exchange for Byrd, Buck and
cash considerations. Pittsburgh had claimed Byrd off waivers and were able to work out the four-player deal with New York. Byrd, 35, is hitting .285 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs this season, including .345 with seven homers against left-handers, and will give Pittsburgh needed depth in the outfield while leadoff hitter Starling Marte recovers from a sprained right hand. Buck, 33, is batting .215 with 15 home runs and 60 RBIs. — The Associated Press

cornerback Justin Gilbert also used it. “From my point of view, that’s pretty much how you can describe our defense,� said Gilbert, who also serves as the team’s top kick returner. “He might have another word for aggressive as to how he’s saying it, but we’re pretty aggressive on defense right now. We’re playing tighter coverage at the back end, as opposed to playing soft, to allow those little five-yard gain plays.� Senior safety Daytawion Lowe agreed. “We’ve been playing aggressively,� Lowe said. “We’re challenging the receivers to catch the ball and making the quarterbacks put it in a tight window. That’s what every defensive player wants. You get turnovers that way.� Mississippi State knows that the defense they face Saturday will not exactly match the one they’re watching on film from last year, and that makes preparing for them a little more difficult. “They’re going to have a new personality this year because of a new coordinator, so part of it is you don’t know exactly what you’re going to see out of this year’s team,� said coach Dan Mullen. “But from what you’ve seen in the past, you see sound fundamentals, a sound team schematically and they really force you to earn things.�

Texas A&M mum about Manziel Heisman winner met with NCAA over the weekend COLLEGE STATION — Johnny Football was the elephant in the room Tuesday at Texas A&M. The seventh-ranked Aggies head into Saturday’s home opener against Rice with questions still swirling about whether Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel will play against the Owls. The NCAA is investigating whether he was paid for his autograph, a potential violation of amateurism rules that could threaten his eligibility. It was the only thing anyone really wanted to talk about on Tuesday when the Aggies addressed the media. The topic, however, was off limits. Athletic director Eric Hyman said Monday night that he’d instructed everyone in the program not to talk about Manziel. And if that wasn’t clear enough, a

member of the sports information department slowly and sternly read the statement, not once, but twice during the session. Reporters asked anyway, and coach Kevin Sumlin did what Hyman asked. “We’re not discussing that,� he said. “I thought we went over that right from the beginning.� He later added that they have a plan for any number of situations that could happen with their players and team, and that they plan for the possible absence of players every week. ESPN, citing an anonymous source, reported that Manziel met with NCAA investigators over the weekend. CBSSports.com, also citing anonymous sources, reported that Manziel told the investigators he didn’t take money for his autograph. While Sumlin wouldn’t discuss Manziel’s availability for Week 1, he had no problem talking about whether football has helped the quarterback deal with everything going on off the field.
“I know he likes to play football,� Sumlin said. “I think the structure that he has had since Aug. 4 has been nothing but helpful.� If Manziel doesn’t play against the Owls, the Aggies will use either junior Matt Joeckel or freshman Kenny Hill.

Fire up your tailgate with tips from a pro G
rilled food is good anywhere for any occasion. Whether you’re tailgating in the stadium parking lot or watching the game in your own backyard with family and friends, get ready to take your grill skills to the gridiron. While you might not be in the running for MVP this season, everyone has a shot at being Tailgater of the Year. Try these tips from world champion pitmaster Chris Lilly to tailgate like a pro this season: • Score an Early First Down: Marinate meat before guests arrive. Try KC Masterpiece marinades, such as Santa Fe Picante, which gives a real kick to meat, seafood and vegetables. It can add flavor to meat in as little as 30 minutes. Also, to be confident your grill will be ready to cook in about 10 minutes, try Kingsford Match Light charcoal. • Avoid Turnovers: Frequent flipping of items on the grill can dry out the food. Instead, let food brown before turning to develop a flavorful crust, which is the signature of great grilling. When it’s time to flip, use tongs or a spatula in place of forks, which pierce food and release juices. • Don’t call in the second string: One of the best parts about tailgating at home is that you own the “concession stand.” You wouldn’t call the deliveryman from the stadium, so

ottled tea drinks are overflowing within supermarket refrigerator cases — as well as at convenience stores, drugstores and gas station mini marts. Profits are as high as waterfalls, too, because these are some of the most marked-up “disposable income” products available. Stretch your summer budget by stirring up pitchers of antioxidant-filled green tea at home, since using tea bags are much more economical than purchasing by the premixed bottle. Markets and bulk stores also often have large containers of plain green tea on sale at much lower prices than trendy flavor-added individual-serving bottles. What’s better is that the mild taste of green tea makes it not only the ideal beverage for everyone from children (not infants or toddlers, of course) to seniors, but, therefore, it also is the perfect foundation for nutritious flavor fests you can create at home, such as the split-second stirs below that include touches with even more antioxidants, like the herb lemon verbena, sugar-free hazelnut syrup and fresh ginger.

Health hints
MRI for prostate cancer can reveal extent of its spread By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently had a prostate biopsy and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now my doctor wants to do an MRI. Why? What new information will the MRI provide? DEAR READER: I can understand why you’re puzzled. A biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer, so why do you need any other test? In a biopsy, bits of tissue are removed from different areas of your prostate gland. They are examined with a microscope to see if there are cancerous cells. If the biopsy shows cancer, the diagnosis has been made. The biopsy also can help determine how aggressive the cancer will be and how likely it is to spread. The biopsy tells you for sure if you have prostate cancer. But it doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how bad the cancer is and what kind of treatment you should receive. Once you’ve been diagnosed, decisions about your treatment will depend on the stage of your cancer. “Staging” is a way of describing how far your cancer has spread. Ultrasound imaging tests have traditionally
been used to determine how much of the prostate gland is filled with cancer, and whether the cancer has spread to the tissues next to the prostate. A newer kind of MRI called endorectal MRI may give a clearer picture than ultrasound of the local spread of prostate cancer. That’s important because, in the majority of men diagnosed with prostate cancer, it exists in multiple locations in the prostate gland. This new kind of MRI is not yet widely available, but it may be available to your doctor. Bone scans can determine if prostate cancer has spread through the blood to bones. MRI scans of the bones are another technique for detecting the spread of cancer. The pictures produced by the MRI will tell your doctor whether and to what extent your cancer has spread to surrounding tissue, lymph nodes and other parts of your body. Your doctor will use these details along with other information to predict how aggressive your tumor is and what treatment will be best. Many new techniques are under development to improve the diagnosis and staging of pros-
tate cancer. New types of blood tests can spot prostate cancer cells that have escaped from the FRANK and ERNEST prostate gland and are circulating in the blood and threatening to lodge in bones. Biopsy specimens are not only being examined under a microscope; they also are being studied to see what genes are turned on and off in the cancerous tissue. These “gene expression” patterns are likely to point to the best treatment. Finally, new MRI imaging techniques are in de- THE BORN LOSER velopment. For example, doctors may inject a contrast agent, such as a dye, into the bloodstream. This dye is absorbed by the prostate. Cancerous tissue absorbs the agent differently than other tissue. During a contrast-enhanced MRI, the cancerous tissue appears brighter than noncancerous tissue, making it easier to identify and treat.
